The funny thing is that—when I first completed the mask—I was relieved that I could kinda see through the stitches. But when I stuck on the velcro eyeballs when we videotaped, I finally realized I'd be sightless that day. Duh, eh? :D

We love your work. My family of 6 has just stood around the computer watching and laughing here in NZ. Fantastic. Can't wait to see what you do next. I now have 1 scared 2 year old girl and 3 little boys demanding an encore.

Oh Howie - you are too funny and way too awesome!! I watched this this morning but didn't have time to comment, and then while I was getting ready for work I heard my 4 kids all watching it huddled around the computer. They LOVE your creations. Have missed you in blogland, but the wait was worth it!!

I'm so happy to make you and your beautiful family happy again with my yarny wackiness :) And thank you for asking about my whereabouts when I was away! You got me to put the pedal to the metal (...crochet hook) :)

I'm grateful you feel that way, thank you! The too-long time spent on this project was spread out over those 5 months, in between two drawing assignments, the holidays, a case of food poisoning and a couple video games hehe ;)

hehe The project was fun to work on too, in retrospect :) MJ and I chuckled about the passerby in the last shot of the video… He wasn't an actor! After "cut!", I took off my mask to see him across the street, a lil concerned :)

I work for an online privacy company, and I've done significant work around facial recognition (see this blog post, for example: http://www.abine.com/wordpress/2011/the-top-6-facial-recognition-faqs/), so naturally I LOVED this. It's funny, but it also gets across the scariness of facial recognition. Awesome job.

It was fascinating to read your article on facial recognition… It's such a powerful technology with far-reaching repercussions. And I'm flattered that you liked my light-hearted take on such a heavy topic!

When I was lying on the ground, a few people walked by without skipping a beat. They probably saw the tripod and assumed it was for show... I hope, at least ;) The fella at the end, though, he watched from across the street with some concern until I stood up, laughing :D

haha We brought along a portable mattress pad for that pole stunt, and my face was also a good distance away from the pole during the faux-impact. But at one point I did miss the mattress, and my hand landed onto MJ's shoe instead. Thankfully, her shoes were cushiony :)

Just happen to chance upon your blog while surfing thorugh another blog. Your works are truly amazing and I really love your creativity. I especially enjoyed reading your fridge critters posts. Sooo Very Cute.... ^_^ In the event that you do publish your own ami book, I'll be your first customer yah? Your ilustrations, coupled with your vimeo recordings showcase your creativity. I am a new crocheter and wish I could have half as much inspiration as you have in creating stories that you do with each of your creations. I love how you include your family members into your blog posts too. Very touching... :)

I have read through your blog from beginning to end and how I wish we could keep in touch to exchange designs and ideas or even something which we make with our hands...Looking forward to your next post Really. All the best.

Loved it!! Reminds me of the mime group that wears all black and uses things like note pads, pipe cleaners, t.p. rolls, etc. I can't spell the name, but it starts with M (pronounced like moo-man-shants I think). Maybe you can find away to see with the mask, then it would make a great Halloween costume. Keep up the good work.Ellie
